I was at Ibrox last Wednesday night to watch Rangers take on AC Milan along with 45,000 other loyal fans but it appears my seat offered a different view to most.
At first, I decided that there was nothing to write home about after the game. Rangers played well, everyone got a run and a few promising players made an impact but none of it really mattered.
Getting a result at Celtic Park is all that mattered.
That was before someone posted one pro-Kyle Lafferty thread too many. The Northern Irishman started upfront on his own against Milan and put himself about a bit but that was it. I saw nothing that said “this man will beat Celtic for us.”
Now let me just clarify that I have nothing against Lafferty, he is an honest hard working lad like so many of the members of the current Rangers squad but why does he suddenly get praise for the same technique that others get castrated for? Lafferty won nothing in the air, despite being 6ft 4 and in general couldn’t trap a bag of cement.
